Invest STL advances community-led transformation by increasing trust-based investments, driving systemic policy solutions, and reframing narratives in predominantly Black neighborhoods. 4theVille is a cultural heritage development organization dedicated to championing the legacy of The Ville neighborhood. The organizations are building capacity to improve neighborhood-level coordination and access to resources in communities hit hard by the May 2025 tornado, including through the coordination of skilled volunteers to address clean-up and housing stabilization.
